Those tubes on the 177 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: side of our facility. 178 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: Are the tubes not panels? 179 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're being tubes. It's amazing. 180 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: They capture the direct sunshine regardless of were sits in 181 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: the sky, and they are phenomenally efficient for a wonder 182 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: through them, and they were creating about seventy degrees worth 183 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: of heat, which is well in excess of what we need. 184 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, phenomenal. 185 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, as far as we understand, the first commercial 186 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: integration of solar and the water is sourced from the 187 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: Ring of Tada, which is glacial fed, and I think 188 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: there's something quite unique and sitting in the pools and 189 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: looking up towards the mountains fishing when the snowkit and 190 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: knowing that the water you're in has been fed from 191 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: the exact vista. 192 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: So do you use any electricity to heat? 193 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: So we can heat. We have secondary heating we needed. 194 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: But it's amazing. 195 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: So this winter it was easily cold, you know, would 196 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 3: come in an five degree mornings, but the second the 197 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 3: sun comes out, the solar starts clicking into life and 198 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: it takes very little sunshine actually to have it run. 199 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: In fact, some days when the clouds are still partially over, 200 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: we'll still be running off the solar. So yeah, yeah, 201 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: it's a bit brilliant. You come in and they're all 202 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: frozen over, they go through a quick defrost circle. Next 203 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: thing you know they're heading the pools. 204 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Is that manual defrost cycle that there's some guy who 205 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: has to go out there and on a minus four 206 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: morning and scrape them all off like our windscreen. 207 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: No, no, we have automated. We do have a manual 208 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: graph that comes in and cleans the pools every morning, 209 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: so those cold mornings definitely chaps on a few late. 210 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Every morning every morning. If you've got some other fun 211 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: facts about the pools, how much water they take or something. 212 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: Like that, Oh gosh, yes, I've got so many fun facts. 213 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: I guess I'm a bit of a leading from cleaning 214 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: the pools every morning is probably the fun fact that 215 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: we drain. 216 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: Them every night. What yeah, before the team hit home. 217 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: Every night they pushed the drain all button and the 218 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: pool's completely empty. And for us, it's the most efficient 219 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: way to keep the heat in the water rather than 220 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: trying to find pool covers. 221 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: It almost sounds a little bit wasteful we keep the water. 222 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: We don't it would absolutely it would be wasteful if we. 223 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: Oh so you're not just dumping it out onto the racecourse. 224 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: No, no, no, No, they've got enough irrigation. They don't 225 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: even from No. So we have two big storage tanks 226 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: at the yes, six hundred thousand leaders worth of storage, 227 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 3: and we pumped the water out into those and overnight 228 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: they stay warm, they'll they'll fill trays and heat and 229 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: then in the morning, once we've done our pool cleaning, 230 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 3: we pushed the all fill and water comes racing back. 231 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: And again, Wow, no way, how long does that take? 232 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: Only an hour and a half. 233 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: For six hundred thousand liters? 234 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yet there's a fairly decent sized pump in the background. 235 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Damn. 236 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty impressive. 237 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: That is cool. Okay, no wonder you were also recognized 238 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: for innovation. 239 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a few bespoke little bits and pieces in 240 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: the vecround. 241 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: That the water was based on. 242 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Damn. So what's next for all, pooky? You got any 243 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: new developments? Maybe some new pool blueprints in the making. 244 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: We're always scheming the next thing. I don't like sitting 245 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 3: still for too long, so we've got a few ideas. 246 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: We've just released the own new Sterenity product in June. 247 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 3: So there was that was the latest greatest invention where 248 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 3: we've introduced a big sauna, a true cold bath which 249 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: drops all the way down to six degrees. Yes, they 250 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: tell me it's the best thing for you. 251 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe that it's good for you. 252 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: I'll keep that was. That was a big thing that 253 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: we released this winter and it's been. 254 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 3: A huge amazing value over there and just another luxurious 255 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: experience and amazing views. 256 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: And then yeah, so at the moment, not too sure 257 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: what the next. 258 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: Step will be, but I've definitely got a few little 259 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 3: things pressing around the background if I'm keen to pursue, 260 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: and I think, you never know, we might I might 261 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: introduce another product or another experience at some point in 262 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: the future. 263 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: Matt Turner. That's what we call the teas and radio land. 264 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: It must be a funky environment to work in the 265 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: sense that you're sitting there in your office suit and 266 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: tie and then you've got some dude and budgy smugglers 267 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: walking past. 268 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: You know, it's a bit of white noise.
